“The Moorlands Coal Project, owned by Chinese company Huaxin Energy, is a proposed open-cut, export-grade thermal coal development project planned 25 kilometres north-west of Clermont.
“But the staunchly pro-coal community is concerned about the proposed location of a haul road, arguing the development through the Blair Athol State Forest will have a negative impact on koala populations and the tourism economy.
“Key points:
– An open-cut, export-grade thermal coal project has been proposed 25km north-west of the Queensland town of Clermont
– The pro-coal community have objected to development through the Blair Athol State Forest
– One researcher has questioned the veracity of Huaxin Energy’s self-assessed environmental impact report, with concerns for the region’s koala population”
